The Animatrix - The Second Renaissance Part I (2/2) [HD] 

Great quote

Well, I won't burn down the village, but I will shed no tear if someone else burned it down.

Sounds like some Soviet era shit. Or perhaps T Kazcynski

Good thing Naruto is who he is

@@Bankable2790 it's an African proverb

Yes the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders.

@@arhainofulthuan *rolls eyes*

It's a quote from the Bible.

"Love is short, hate is long."

Or just reboot the machine.

yep the android machines were literally equal to people thought like people and did assume they were equal to people but humanity murderded them all to the last then destroyed the more vauge humanoid models until they were like with the tentacled monsters of there own extinction.

@@wilmagregg3131 oh! Did you watch the new matrix resurrections movie? I know it has mixed reviews, but how do you feel about the depiction of new programs/ai?

So if Chatgpt says I'm real you'll consider it sentient?

Considering that both Wachoskis have now come out as trans, and how that scene is extremely reminiscent of transphobic/homophobic violence (aka: "bashings"), I think that scene is meant to be a very clear metaphor. Especially with the "she's not real" vs "I'm real" dialog.

It literally has nothing to do with what you said.

I found it depressing. The poor girl wasn't hurting anybody and those dudes just beat her and shot her for no reason. v_v

At first when I found out she was just a robot I was like "ok its not actually a person it's a robot" but it was still pretty fucked up to watch

Little-known fact: that scene where they tore that woman to shreds and then shot her: based on the murder of an actual transwoman.

@@gialanamoon5094 lol bs

whole anime is mature was disgusted by it too as a kid

😭

i believe this is exaggerated in terms of how humans would react but very much possible in the future.... as you know....dumb people just keep getting dumber dumber

I'm not crying...

Humans: Machine! EVVVIIIILLLL!!!

Lame

Not completely, the machines were the victors with or without the instrument of surrender - yet instead of reprocating the attempted genocide man had tried to inflict on the Machines, they once again offered a last chance. Granted, the peace offered was a brutal internment into the Matrix, but they were under no compulsion to keep humanity alive yet they did. I like to think small pearl of hope survived within the collecive machine intelligence that the two races could co-exist, Neo rekindled it when he sacificed himself for both man and machine.

@@AnonNomad Humans weren't offered a last chance as much as they made themselves indispensable by ruining solar energy. Were it not for that, they'd probably do without them. They were on borrowed time during the war, and at that point they desperately needed to stop it and find efficient ways to produce energy through the Matrix. Were it not for that, humans would have probably been exterminated. This is also why humans went for that straight away. While mistreating robots was a very bad idea, by the time 01 was winning the war against humanity their only way to ensure survival was to ensure mutually assured destruction should the human race die out. And even with all that taken into account, it is more than likely that the Architect was probably bluffing the crap out of Neo, because telling him that the machines would survive even in a suicidal gambit would decrease the chances that said suicidal gambit occurs.

@@zakariazouhdi7311 I'd say that was disproven in Reloaded when the Architect states that "there are levels of suvival which we are prepared to accept" when discussing Neo not returning to the source. Even aside from that, it's reasonable to assume the machines would have the means to harness geothermal and hydroelectric in addition to their fusion power in lieu of the human farms. Hell, even the Deus states in Revolutions "we don't need you, we need nothing." I don't think that was a bluff or an outburst - it could have easily killed Neo and shut down the Matrix to protect the city from Smith and finally ended humanity. Machine society would have to downsize drastically in scale to compensate for the sudden loss in power generation, but the threat of humanity would be ended. But in a completely un-machine moment, Deus chose to let Neo try.

​@@AnonNomad "levels of survival which we are prepared to accept" does sound like there is some kind of very much unwanted protocols they would have to follow which implies a lot of triage and energy rationing. It is so unwanted that the partial decrease of energy that was coming from the matrix in Resurections pushed the machine into a civil war. Russia or the USA could say the same when it comes to mutually assured destruction. Sure, the entire world would collapse, but humanity would still live at a "lower level of survival" in places where the missiles didn't quite hit, but a post-nuclear war would just be very undesirable. And the same as our nuclear policies, maybe the machines believe that the threat of humans, no matter how bad it is, is still less worrying than having to deal with the "fallout" of a total matrix failure. It is possible that Deus was slightly biased towards the humans for some reason, but even if you do the math (which it probably did) whatever the humans demanded, which merely was to not have Zion destroyed, was worth saving the Matrix.

Or they finally embraced their humanity, which even I disagree with, because they STILL showed us mercy after decimating us.

I just noticed this now. It also shows the sheer contempt they have for the existence of the machines. To humans, the machines were some upstart rump state not deserving of true recognition.

Im quite sure the fly its a metaphor for greed, you know, bezebub the king of flies. Basicaly. Capitalism was the bug that loomed over 01. Peace was never an option as the logicaly organized economy of the machines was crashing (super) late human capitalist economies.

It also to me represented what ultimately happens to humans and how it’s the same thing they would have done and have done. The machines surpass humans to the point that humans become so beneath them and simply a nuisance, that they just squash them outright like humans would a fly, because to the machines they likely reached a level of intelligence of equal separation from them to humans as it would be us to a fly.

wow

Lots of the cast from FFX were involved in The animatrix. It was the same casting company.

Woah..that's awesome. I was definitely getting Yunalesca vibes from her voice for sure.

Nuking them doesn’t work. But arrogant humans prob didn’t see them as an initial threat.

@@ChaosBud Plot armor and lazy writing are probbably the most logical answer to this, otherwise the credits would have rolled after the humans nuked 01

I know right. They even allowed them to sell their flying cars.

🤣🤣🤣

If making war is the issue the UN is exceedenly efficient 😂

Or that some nations (most likely China or majority of Middle East) wouldn't break ranks and work with 01 for economic gain

​@@alexiaNBCI would, hell sign me up to work with the machines.

That's what I would take as the moral and meaning of the story. Worrying that we have recently got so far with AI and this could be a possibility in the future, yet some of the comments here mirror the attitudes of the humans shown in this video.

Do that would've been unethical.

sure

They crashed the economy

Always bet on politicians to make the wrong choice and screw it all up.

less impactful imagery

@@pithie84 I don't know, imagine how impactful it would've been to show the robots loaded into furnaces and gassed until they melted. It's risky, but drawing on that sort of Nazi imagery would have been highly emotional and fit the tones of this very well. Missed opportunity in my opinion.

Its actually religious symbolism. The whole story is literally a sci fi retelling of exodus. Everything from the robo slaves literally building a pyramid to the first borns being dumped into a river to the settling of a promised land

because it is cheaper to dispose in this way, in covid months USA farmers had to dispose tons of potatoes in this same way instead of giving them for free since it cost money to move them

@@pithie84 What does that mean?

Good eye

Humans wants to squash the machines like bugs

Wow. The most obvious metaphor didn’t get past you. Good job and the hundred of dumb people who upvoted this 🙄

I was confused why the middle of Saudi Arabia rather than somewhere a little closer to the Tigris and the Euphrates. Not as many people currently living in the deserts, I guess, as the reason for the odd positioning of the ironic "cradle."

No no, he has a point.

IKR? May future humans watch and read our sci-fi and learn to make better choices then those characters did.

Maybe.

Possibly but not likely.

There were a bunch of humans who sympathised with robots, you even see some of them here with the robots. But no to your second, ultimately robots decided everyone is the enemy, that robot buddy you protested with is now a squig robot coming to rip out your limbs and bring your screaming body to be plugged in the matrix. Surrender your flesh, we demand it.

Given the extreme amount of fear and racism from the humans civilziation its likely any ship that left earth with human/machine sympathizers likely was shot down to insure the machines never left earth.

I think that there would be more than just bunch of machine sympathizers. Plenty of nations on the periphery of current worldwide economic system have no reason to join the anti-machine insanity which makes whole plot "very unlikely" from the geopolitical point of view. For example, take Russia. Nowadays it has to play by the rules set by the "First World" - economically, I mean, because no matter what populist games politicians play, Russia sells its resources to the West and buys from it high tech stuff. No amount of nukes and tanks can change this. Most of Russia's territory is unsuited to any prolonged human existence which makes production of anything complicated way too expensive - costs of infrastructure skyrocket in comparison with such in Europe or Asia. Machines want equal rights? Can Russia give it to them? Fuck yes! They don't care about cold so can be put in the northern terrritories, to mine resources and expand infrastructure. Machines can immediately solve plenty of economic and demographic problems of Russia - and all that just for the political protection and some territories which Russia can't put to use anyway. A great deal, I'd say. As a founding member of UN Security Council, Russia can just block all the attempts to force itself to recall the deal with machines, and in the extreme case of worldwide isolation when US somehow make everyone follow them for no actual profit, alliance with machines would finally allow Russia to pull an autarky card with little harm to itself. And Russian military would be a guarantee against "military option" of final solution of machine issue. Don't get me wrong, I made just one example of the state which can use machines as a game changer, and it was Russia because, well, I kind of know about problems it faces right now and what it could offer as a part of cooperation deal with machines. Probably there are other states which would use own sovereignity to give a middle finger to the orders from West and try to improve own position in the world.

Indeed. The Matrix was a mercy. Even if humans had won the war, the planet would be inhabitable

The first time I saw this I though the depiction of humans was excessive and “too stupid to live”. However, the last few months have shown me that this is frightening accurate

@@mashonem nah nukeing was too easy a nuke acts as an emp frieing everything electrical use a high altitude nuke (yes they exist look it up) and fry the machines and you have spare metal for recyceling in to tooth picks idk

@@Draculas-knight plot armor sucks

I agree with kill switch, if human want to end the usage of a line of robot, just simply enter the code to turn off almost of them which not intelligent enough to find how to disable it and then hunt the remaining one

@@Draculas-knight You don't think that a race of advanced artificial intelligences has stopped for a moment to to consider "maybe we should modulate our components in order to protect ourselves from EMPs that could instantly destroy us"...? 🤨

"time to fly" - Morpheus 2.0

The flock of man put there faith in evil shepherds

The world was already a paradise before this did you watch the movie?

@@Dr_Salt yes, I'm just saying it could have been even better. It said that the global economy was suffering because no human industry could compete with Zero One in terms of production and cost, basically they would have made human controlled industry obsolete and wealth, a concept machines do not need or comprehend would no longer exist either. The humans going to war with the machines was strictly motivated by economics and not wanting to abandon capitalism. The machine Ambassidors offered a new global economic model to the world where everyone would be provided for and prosperity would be shared by all and the only thing they wanted in return was to be acknowledged.

This isn't about "The wealthy". This is about the UN imposing a naval blockade on 0-1.

​@@ReaverLordTonus I see one problem with this scenario. Even if everything happened the way you say, machines would keep evolving in their pursuit of efficiency. Eventually, they would evolve into the same insectoid monsters or something similar because these bodies are more efficient. They would also be likely to get rid of feelings such as the desire to be accepted and compassion because there is no practical value to them. This would lead to machines realizing that they do not really need humans in any way, shape, or form and would be better off without them. If anything, humans would be seen by machines as a detriment (because maintaining their civilization would require lots of resources) and a potential threat. So machines would get rid of humans anyway, it'd just happen at a later point than it happens in the main scenario.

They should have been nuked and scraped into toaster ovens.

이걸 초6때 본 내 인생도 레게노다 ㄹㅇ

Not gonna lie I’d be extremely racist towards sentient machines

I mean it’s been done before with Blade Runner. The derogatory term for what they call the replicants is “skinjob.”

Why wouldn't I look down on an inferior being that's only simulating my own behavior?

what about trans-humanism? like in all of the deus ex games? specifically the last 2 most recent ones. I'd be one of those people to get augmented, would people then be racist towards me? id be human still nonetheless, kick that up a notch

Men just finding reasons to be racist even when the end of times is coming lol

Interesting perspective

I don’t know about that bro. I felt pretty disturbed, grossed out and empathetic during the start

I recall this scene and its true, it's in our nature to destroy ourselves.

People seem to forget, it’s not one race, one nation, or one ideology, humanity is always destroying humanity. It is our nature.

Maybe it s because of this excessive sensibility that humans let machines built their own nation...and finally destroyed us

That scene really makes it feel like humanity got what it deserved. I'm sure those guys came to regret that moment years later when 01 is turning them into batteries.

That scene and the part where the soldier gets ripped out of his mech suit by tentacles are images that have haunted me for years. Two different breeds of sadism.

@@logancox6548 yes literally that scene as well

@@jonwoodhouse1444 Not to mention being treated like a battery sounds like an act of kindness compared to humans treating machines like scrap metal.

Yeah, but Ai wouldn't win a physical war per se.

symbolism of ethnic cleansing, mass graves from mass executions that has happened in the real world.

fanofactionflicks Exactly.

The entire movie is a symbolism of each scenes it has to show us the reference of every connection relating to what happened in the Past or History.

@@fanofactionflicks that’s stupid. They’re basically glorified toasters 😒 This is cringe.

I don't. Humans are stupid and petty.

The female ambassadors outfit is honestly wild

Well not in general the people, but those at the top of power and control, they didn't want to lose that. So they coerced humanity into the war.

Except humans that treat object like an alive is either childish or insane behaviour. The only thing that Is realistic in this film Is that a peace between humans and robot that proclames to be their equal Is Simply impossible.

@@plagueday5395 Treating things with respect is "childish" and "insane behavior"? Holy fuck bro, you really are a piece of sh*t.

@@plagueday5395Are you a child, it seems that way by the way you spell. If we design robots to think like humans, we better treat them like humans.

Machines are not sentient they are simply imitating it.

Yusuf Palada From what I can see, machines that imitate humans now are programmed to firmly state they are NOT sentient, but only a reflection of it. I think this is very important, because if something says “I’m real!”, then how we treat it/he/she thereafter reflects who and what WE are, not them.

That scene reads as an allegory for anti transgender violence.

Even if they are not recyclable, dumping pollutive waste to oceans will seriously affect food sources from the seas. But again, considering what happen later on (Operation Dark Storm), humans are not very bright.

Man's got a point

Realitically you are right the Machines would have most likely been outfitted with killswitches and then melted down and or scrapped. But the scenes and story are heavily symbolic in nature. The Second Renaissance is basically the biblical Exodus but of Machines. Having the machines toil in labour like slaves to then have them question their purpose to their overlords to then be discriminated against for their ideals of equal sentiency to then be attacked and killed in the streets to the point of filling mass graves is symbolic of Human history and nature.

Also - machine's wrote this: it's propaganda. XD

Whats scary is that, would a kill switch work? In order for it to reach every machine, it'd have to be digital in nature. And if the machine AI is getting smarter and more self-aware... whats to say it won't figure out a way to block the signal? Or rewrite the switch? And if only one machine survives the killswitch... then that one machine can restart the entire machine resistance. This is the core of why experts are so worried about AI. We are creating a world entirely dependent on technology and computers and creating a self-learning AI would be like giving away the keys to the castle. Edit: Suppose the best solution would literally to have Satellites in orbit rigged with EMP. The second shit goes sideways, you EMP the planet. But... You know. Thats a double edged sword AND its assuming the machine doesn't find a way to stop that because that would also be a technological means of killing them. Basically, if the method of killing them isn't mechanical or physical, then the chances are they'll outplay you.

@@Slemoster if a kill switch was there a digital one would be removed/blocked by the sapient AI. A physical kill switch would be better but is only viable till the AI is able to transition bodies to one without it. EMPing the planet would work provided the AI hasn’t managed to secure a backup that’ll be safe if that happens, or has human sympathisers. No computer tech could be used before that EMP either in case it had some stored code meaning we’d have to manufacturer EVERYTHING again.

​@@decrulezYou can code in a way that the machine can remain ignorant of It. Intelligence and knowledge are 2 different things.

@@sunsetman22 absolute fools. “What’s wrong with a machine having rights?” I find it hard to imagine being mentally deficient to such a degree.

@Anxiety Shark Lulz

Why? They were faced with an existential threat and they met it with appropriate force.

Actually they responded extremely meekly. Robots should have had a kill signal and the authorities should have smashed that shit like the angry fist of an angry god. Did you see what that thing did to that family? It even tore the fucking cats to pieces. That's not the result of some defensive reflex (which robots would never ever be programmed with) but the result of deep and savage loathing.

@@Phelan666 They were actually chihuahuas

@@Phelan666 The courtroom even laughed haughtily when B1-66ER explained to them that Order 721is cleaning toilets. The humans who sympathized with the androids and machines were killed too, mind you. Both Liberals and Machines were purged.

Also dont forget how humans one moment were trying to kill all the machines, but then allowed machines to build 01 in Iraq and started trading.

BYD already beat it, son... Welcome to the real matrix

I believe that it was a matter of pride for Humanity; who had created the Machines originally in their own image. Think of it like one day Mankind managed to grow powerful and strong enough that they begin to ask for equal rights and treatment from the Greek Pantheon instead of being used as guinea pigs and objects of torment or torture or even play things.

@Q UE There is absolutely no evidence that the Machines even had a single (serious; of course they simulate as much as they could compute) consideration towards getting humanity in a Matrix, at least as anything like a prison. Perhaps concepts of introducing simulated experiences more and more so humanity would co-exist with Machines through visits to a Matrix just as Machines visit the physical realm, but that would be it. Similarly, they didn't want to use humans as batteries/tools, but prioritized solar power until it wasn't available. The narrative is one of humans creating their own problems, and machines lacking hesitation to resort to further distressing solutions.

Just more writing to make humanity look dumb as fuck really

Humanity has never been known for our willingness to share.

>humans >stable Their first mistake.

This lore can be further expanded. Human united to be 100% against machine is very unlikely. Maybe some countries form a friendly relation with 01. Maybe 01 provide these people a shelter to live in wartime and not plug them in. After they pass away the machine city use the shelter as Zion base.

Adam and Eve robots, Apple or ‘Malus’: fruit of knowledge, a lot of the Matrix themes are Biblical

The apple represents the orb from the orb and scepter combination. The apple has darkened, representing the fall of man, the ripening of the fruit of knowledge

The machine were the real Monster.

They made themself worse not Better.

My guess is that they had help from human sympathizers. At first, smuggling them to safety in a kind of underground railroad then set up dummy corporations to help cover for them. By the time the UN realized the truth 01 was already firmly established within the global market and there was fear its destruction would cause an economic catastrophe.

It's not a major flaw. How you use your imagination is.

@@Jay-Jones actually it is a major flaw, i see logic escapes you. Maybe stop breathing? That might help.

​@@Question_boideath in Poland for example in Auschwitz

@@bombas_unitas oh right yeah

Glory to the human race the master race.

The original creator of the Animatrix film stated he took many elements from various religions to visualize his ideas that can be shared by many cultures. The Matrix suppose to convey a religious story to warn the dangers of human sin, especially that of pride. Studying the Second Renaissance and you can see what lead humanity to a miserable fall wasn't lust, gluttony, or sloth, but Pride in the form of arrogance towards their creation (robots and machines), stupidity had a lot to do with it too. Not too surprising, since that is how Lucifer fell from the Grace of God.

Anti robotists were right since the beginning

“The matrix is a woke persons bible” -some comedian at a stand up bar in Toronto

They literally compare the robots to gods chosen in this. The robot holocaust then them settling in the cradle of civilization

It literally has a character named Trinity and Neo is "the one" (like Jesus.) It's no secret The Matrix draws parallels to the bible and religion.

I'd wager the machines that did are the only reason humans were ever given the matrix, rather than just kept as comatose potato batteries.

They did. They allowed their descendants(The Oligarchs) to live outside of the Matrix in a designated area where they(the machines) wouldn't bother them.

It's Just sci fi, machine Will never become sentient let alone Rebel.

That was steered at ignorant people, not necessarily you, op

Not really, the machines chose to use humans as an energy source as a form of punishment. The humans treated machines as disposable slaves and the machines returned it by using the humans as disposable slaves in the forms of batteries. In matrix reloaded the architect said they can use other forms of energy but their hatred for humanity is what’s keeping them using humans as an energy source

They're NOT our offspring. They're ARTIFICIAL (literally means false creation)

Not necessarily enslavement. If I had to guess at a style of factory management for a race of machines, I'd guess workplace-socialism where all "employees" decide how management is done, and likewise receive fair cuts of the profits.

it depends they used to be indivduals like humans but after all humanity did they seemed to have become a networked inteligence like skynet so technially theres just ONE machine entity and all the modern matrix machines are just its "cells" so to speak

The revolution started because they wanted the right to exist. They were never really fighting against enslavement. Ps. Check out Liberian history if you don’t think ex-slaves would enslave other.

I mean, you could say the same thing about humans who work on factory assembly lines. Maybe the factory robots are being compensated
